Joanna has been writing 8-page little Chinese readers for students in my classroom. Students thrive when they aren’t overwhelmed. Her picture book uses that same concept.
The upper half of each page is written without romanization. Readers can choose to read the book in any Chinese language they know. Readers who speak Taishanese or Taiwanese can read it in their own language.
Readers can also choose to follow the color-coded page and speech bubbles to read the text in Cantonese (in blue) and Mandarin (in orange) with the help of Jyutping and Pinyin.
The book includes Cantonese and Mandarin pronunciation guides, extra vocabulary, and tips and games for learning Chinese.
